When defending their territory, male mice typically appear threatening before launching an attack, ensuring that aggression ...
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have uncovered a previously unrecognized mechanism by which inherited calcium ...
Neuronal pathways originating from the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) of the brain participate in different adaptive behaviors, but which pathways are used for distinct adaptive strategies remains unclear ...
Stanford Medicine investigators have replicated, in a lab dish, one of the most prominent human nervous pathways for sensing pain. This nerve circuit transmits sensations from the body’s skin to the ...
Understanding how the brain works requires more than studying single regions in isolation. The cerebral cortex depends on ...
The ability to measure the connectivity of each neuron in a neural circuit has established large maps of neuronal pathways—the connectome. But the extent to which those connectivity measurements alone ...
